After following Metallica through group therapy in his last film, Some Kind of Monster, Joe Berlinger is back in top form with his new documentary, CRUDE, which chronicles the epic legal battle to hold Chevron accountable for its systematic contamination of the Equadorian Amazon — an environmental tragedy that experts agree is one of the worst cases of oil-related contamination on Earth. Featuring everyone from Chevron executives to Trudie Styler and Sting, the story keeps you pinned as 30,000 Amazon natives face down the fifth largest corporation in the world. If you feel inspired after watching (which you will), check out the website for volunteer opportunities.
